Oh, the grey top and the bag, love those two items! I would wear it right now, it’s what I love, simple and comfortable stuff, and if possible great quality, of course. The bag looks very easy and chic to me, just what I want. Do bags have to be so complicated?

I’m sharing my great yoga shopping find here although for the longest time I’ve been keeping it as my own little piece of heaven. Abi and Joseph makes the best yoga tops and bottoms and the best part is, many of these are fashionable enough to double as day outfits or comfy travel pieces. Enjoy! http://www.abiandjoseph.com

I realize that buying new gear can be nice for getting back into any hobby/sport…but I can’t help but wonder: Don’t you already have plenty of gear from before, that is perfectly good for using again?

Do we really need to keep buying new things, when the rise and prevalence of consumerism, the pursuit of convenience and whatnot, in the past century and onwards is the root of climate change?

While I am not completely free of splurging on something new from now and then, I always try my best to justify the purchase, based on things such as price per use, necessity, and redundancy, among other things.

So…please ask yourself…do you REALLY, REALLY need a whole new set of new gear for your one self? Because a lot of the times…owning less is more. :)

Take care, and best of luck with getting back into it! I love yoga and being active as well, and it sure is great.

I echo this sentiment, Caroline. It was the first thought I had, the irony of yoga being synonymous with shopping and knee-jerk consumerism. If that is the connection to yoga, chances are this time the yoga won’t stick either.

ok, I love that everything is black and grey!! And I’m seriously thinking that it’s about time that I jumped the wagon and got a pair of black nikes! I was debating over black and the cute colored ones but I think this just convinced me that I should go for the blacks. :)
